Starred Review. Former foreign editor of Time, Ramo pushes the reader into uncomfortable yet exhilarating places with controversial ways of thinking about global challenges (e.g., studying why Hezbollah is the most efficiently run Islamic militant group). His book, which lays bare the flaws in current thinking on everything from American political influence to the economy, is designed to change the physics of the way we think. Analyzing the failure of the Bush administration's Democratic Peace Theory and the fruitless efforts at a Mideast peace process, Ramo suggests that people must change the role they imagine for themselves from architects of a system they can control to gardeners in a living ecosystem. Ramo's message—that the most dynamic forces emerge from outside elite circles: geeks, iconoclasts and maligned populations—is persuasively argued. And while the author doesn't explicitly offer up solutions, he goads readers to approach problems in unexpected ways. His revelatory work argues that there must be some audacity in thinking before there can be any audacity of hope. (Apr.)

一个记者写的所谓大视野大战略之类的书,在我看来基本属于故事+胡扯。据说挺畅销,实在不理解为啥畅销。随便翻了翻,有的地方仔细看一下,因为有一些例子是国际关系类的。其实看看何帆写的译序就可以了。倒是该书附的北京共识认真读了一下,感觉也是标题党,内容太杂。知道北京...
评分民主+资本主义=繁荣和稳定?这个记者给了一个我们隐约觉得不对又暂时想不出来的想法。从小就知道资本主义的不好和逐步毁灭的轨迹,但是还不清楚实际的繁荣秘密以及内部的生态发展。在历史的过程中,哪有绝对的事情呢,都是在此时复杂的环境中才有了绝对的真理。以后的子孙看来...
评分几十年前,一个叫巴布斯特的人把1789年到1941年的一些战争数据输入计算机中进行概率统计,得出一个结论:从1789年到1941年间,有着民主选举的政府的独立国家之间没有发生过战争,根据统计出的事实,他认为:只要有了民主,便有了和平。 布什政府显然是这一“民主和平论...
评分亚马逊网站的五星推荐的确有道理,本书不是弗里德曼在《世界是平的》里的不可救药的乐观主义,而是雷默在《北京共识》继续表现出来的危机意识。 本书需要慢慢地品味,也许可以结合《世界是平的》和《世界又热又平又挤》一起来读。 话说,《世界是平的》已经更新到3.0版本了,...
